Dr. J. J. Oppenheimer Is Made Liberal Arts Dean
WHINERY PLACE FILLED
WITH ADMINISTRATOR
OF STEPHENS COLLEGE

To Work Of Teaching
And Research
TAKES OFFICE JULY 1
President Raymond A. Kent of the
University of Louisville has announc-ed
the appointment of Dr. J. J. Op-penheimer
as Dean of the College of
Liberal Arts. Dr. Oppenheimer
takes the place left vacant by the
resignation of Dr. S. M. Whinery at
the end of the last year, on July 1.
“Dr. Oppenheimer, who has been
in Louisville twice recently to confer
with the faculty and Board of Trus-tees,
was sought out by the adminis-tration
because of his successful ad-ministrative,
teaching and research
experience,” President Kent said.
“His appointment makes its pos-sible
for Dr. E. B. Fowler, head of
the Department of English, who has
filled the position most satisfactorily
in the interim, to return to his chosen
field of teaching and research.
“When Dr. Oppenheimer was first
approached,” the President continued,
“he was not at all certain that he was
really interested in the position. In
no sense, therefore, was he an ap-licant.
. %
“He is a man who knows the prob-lems
of present day college adminis-tration.
In addition, he has con-tributed
significantly to one of the
outstanding projects in college edu-cation
in America today, the unusual
development which has taken place in
Stephens College during the past
seven or eight years.”
Dr. Oppenheimer was born in St.
Joseph, Mo., in 1890, of German an-cestry.
He received his Bachelor’s
and Master’s degrees at the Univers-ity
of Missouri and his Doctor’s de-gree
at Columbia University. He
acted for a time in the intelligence
service of the United States Govern-ment
during the World War. After

Department To Work With

New Program
A student health service is to be
established on the University campus
next September, according to plans
of the University Council. The serv-ice
will work in conjunction with the
Athletic Council on its program of
Physical Education for Freshmen next
year.
A physician is to be employed to
work two hours each day, six days
a week and a nurse be employed for
three hours each day. A clinical lab-oratory
also will be established and
clerical help will be obtained for the
service. The personnel will be under

The Student Health Service will
give a physical examination to each
Freshman entering the University
before he will be allowed to par-ticipate
in any certain branch of the
Physical Education work which will
be compulsory for Freshmen. The
Phy Ed work will, for the most part,
take the form of intramural sports.
CALDWELL TOASTMASTER

President’s
Paragraphs
Do you remember when your
Mother cleaned house in the spring?
It was rather uncomfortable while
going on, but? how attractive every-thing
was when finished! How care-ful
you were not to track in dirt or
in any other way make her feel that
her work was not appreciated.
Do you care how the campus and
buildings of our University look?
If you do, you can help very material-ly
by the exercise of a little of the
same care you used at home. A par-lor
with papers scattered all over the
floor is not attractive, neither is a
campus nor are the classrooms, halls
and bookstores.
A stranger coming among us ob-tains
his first impression from what
he sees. Neatness of grounds and
buildings will go far to make his first
thought one of appreciation instead
of criticism.
The substitution of thoughtfulness
for carelessness, for example, putting
paper into containers instead of
throwing them on the floor or on the
campus will make a great deal of dif-ference.
The Board of Trustees has
begun a comprehensive program of
campus beautification, although not
much is yet in evidence. Every stu-dent
and faculty member can help to
keep our campus free from the scars
of refuse. Your cooperation is so-licited.
Let us keep our campus and
our buildings clean!

BALL LEAGUE OPENS
Chemistry Clubs Leads Five
Other Teams With
3 Victories
If some of you get hit in the eye
with a ball about the size of a grape-fruit,
pay no mind. Just catch it
before it touches the ground and take
your time at bat.
And pass the accident off with a
smile, knowing that the person who
hit it and the persons who missed it
are training for the L Club’s play-ground
baseball league.
The league is in full swing and at
the present time the Chemistry Club
is the leader with three victories and
no defeats.
The teams will play ten games
each, two with each of the other five
teams. The games are played under
playground baseball rules and are un-
ASHLEY DUKES’ COMEDY
IS LAST PRESENTATION
Play Is Singularly Well Cast
And Is Climax To
Good Year
By Sarah Fisher
The third season of the Alumni
Players was closed on Monday and
Tuesday nights with the presentation
of Ashley Dukes’ comedy, “A Man
With a Load of Mischief.”
It is interesting to see what, a
Twentieth Century dramatist has
done with a harsh situation in the
troublous time of the early Nine-teenth
Century. The spirit of the
half century that saw the last strug-gles
of a degenerate nobility against
the keener minds and higher morals
of the middle classes, is cleverly de-picted
in Dukes’ contrasting char-acters.
George Patterson’s voice and his
unusual stage presence ne ver stood
him in better stead than as the over-bearing
profligate who planned to use
a woman to revenge his gaming
losses. He was at all times the
cynical, polished “pimp of fashion.”
Paul Druien, though a bit stiff in his
soliloquies, made his role of the ser-vant,
a product of the newer and
more since society, a pleasing con-trast
to the unscrupulous Nobleman.
Elizabeth Attkisson made an at-tractive
figure of the prince’s mis-tress,
who found real love in the inn.
At no time did it appear that she was
weak in her acceptance of her place.
We were ready to believe that being
an actress and under .the domination
of the court, that she has accepted
her fate, hating the men she served
and to who she felt herself superior.
Dan Braden as the comic innkeeper
and Mrs. A. Stephen Blunk, as his
wife, were a pair of honest folk, who

TO BE PRESENTED ON
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
Cora Lee Marmour Is Put
Opposite Ed Goodin
In Title Role
’3O GRADS FORM CAST
On Friday and Saturday, May 2
and 3, with a matinee on Saturday,
the University of Louisville Players,
under the direction of Boyd Martin
will present “Perkins” a charming
comedy by Douglas Murray, as the
last offering of their sixteenth season.
The coming of spring has made the
choice of “Perkins” a particularly
happy one for it is chock-full of
bright, sparking humor. The cast
has been selected from the group of
active players who do not return next
year and who have contributed large-ly
to the success of the organization
in the past four years.
“Perkins” is a young English
widow, Mrs. Calthorpe, played by
Cora Lee Marinor, who becomes the
parlour maid after being advised by
her solicitor, H. B. Blackwell, that
she is to inherit about a million dol-lars
fro ma dear, old gentleman of
Toronto provided she marry his
nephew, Fergus Winbush, also of
Toronto, played by Ed Goodin. Her
disguise enables her to observe Fer-gus
more dispassionately. Wimbush,
direct from Canada, is horrified to
see from a photograph, that Mrs.
Calthorpe is apparently a good, old
soul, but ugly as sdn. While protest-ing
that he would not marry Mrs.
Calthorpe he promptly falls in love
with ‘Perkins’ regardless of the con-ditions
of the will. She is, we can
easily see, very much taken with the
young man but also is enjoying the
game. Of course, when everything
seems certain she doffs her disguise
and reappears as Mrs. Calthorpe.
Miss Marmor is suited both from
point of experience and nature to
plumb the depths of the bewitching
‘Perkins.’
Debaters End First Half of
Season With Five Victories
The first half of the University of<
Louisville’s debate season was
brought to a close last week with a
victory over the Colorado College
team of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The decision was by a judges’ vote
of 3 to 0 on Resolved: That the Gov-ernment
Should Own and Operate
Hydro - Electric plants. Martin
Duffy and George Ragsdale were on
the affirmative side of the question.
The debate was held at West Point,
Ky., under the auspices of Wilson
Burks, formerly a member of the
U. of L. debate team, who now is de-bate
coach of West Point High
School.
The victory over Colorado gave the
Cardinal argufiers a record of five
victories and two defeats, in seven
decision affairs. The Cardinals also
have had five no-decision debates—-
four with the University of Kentucky
and one with Indiana University.
All the no-decision clashes were on
the Chain Store Question.
